The Jason Stapleton Program

The first part of this episode may be too graphic for little ears so if you have young ones listening you may want to throw in the headphones.

Jamal Khashoggi, the American journalist who has been critical of the Saudi government was in fact tortured and murdered by a Saudi hit team.

I'll give you the details on today's show but if you're not convinced there is real evil in this world after listening then I don't know what to say.

I found this to be on of the most outrageous stories I've come across this year. Apparently, ANTIFA was waiting outside a meeting of the Proud Boys and after engaging them in a physical altercation, AND LOSING, the NYPD is claiming they are the victims of assault.

To make matters worse the fight was caught on tape so you get to see exactly what happened.

Give today's show a listen and tell me if there's something I'm missing.

At least that's what a new report from the UN is claiming. Naturally, you know I'm extremely skeptical of these reports but what I found most interesting was the article from New York Mag talking about the report.

It's rare I see a political writer with a flair for copywriting but this guy has got it. He used every trick in the book.

Every day we are hit with people trying to influence us. Some of them are trying to deceive or manipulate us for their own self-serving reasons. I feel like I've been given an incredible opportunity to expose this kind of treachery and I took the bulk of the show to do it.

Enjoy!

Today we have a special guest, Matt Condon. My trading buddy, Mark Sedlak, actually introduced me to Matt and his company Bardavon Health Innovations because Mark knows we talk about healthcare on the show and because Matt is doing something really interesting inside of the healthcare space. Most importantly I want to talk problem-solution with Matt. Everyone wants to talk about how the healthcare system is broken. I want to talk about real solutions. Through Bardavon, Matt is working to reduce the cost of healthcare, to reduce the cost of treatment, and to increase transparency between patients and clients. I'll tell you how.

Great story today about a town in Mexico that has done something no other modern city has done. They expelled their politicians outlawed political parties and eliminated all laws save one. You cannot agress against your neighbor.

The city has become an example of what a libertarian society can look like, at least on a small scale.

Tune in and listen now!

This really riles me up, so let's get to it.  A video emerged yesterday showing masked Antifa members taking over an entire busy intersection in Portland WHILE police stood by. The thugs retaliated against any drivers who defied them by hitting their cars with asps.  This retaliatory action cost one older driver almost $3000 in damages.  The same driver became so fearful he sped off and almost hit one of the thugs. And, you know what, the thug would have deserved it. This is the Left.  This is Progressivism.

Yeah I know it's shocking but it turns out Amazon isn't just going to eat the cost of increasing wages to $15/hr. Instead, they're ending their stock option program and their incentive-based bonus system.

The changes will hurt those who already made $15 or more the hardest. But shouldn't those people be grateful someone stood up for the little guy? Why are those making more than $15/hr so greedy? :-)

As I said yesterday there are no free rides. Employers don't pay taxes, they don't eat costs. They pass them along. In this case, the employees will be subsidizing their own pay increases. It's a hard economic lesson to learn and I don't feel sorry for any of them.

As I came into the studio today to finalize my show prep I thought the New York Times story on Trump would be a general mention but as I read through the allegations I realized it was so much more.

The Times got their hands years worth of tax returns, not from Donald Trump but for his father Fred Trump. The records call into question Donalds entire mythology. From how he got his start to how he built and maintained his empire.

I won't belabor it today but I was right again. It turns out you can make any claim you want and as long as it never sees the inside of the courtroom you can destroy a man's reputation

Julie Swetnick was interviewed on NBC and said she didn't know what Kavanaugh did or might have done. She said she never saw him spike punch or sexually assault anyone. She did say he was a heavy drinker and very handsy.

The truth is far different than her statements last week proving yet again you can never trust what you hear. Look for the evidence.

****Crystal Mason was just sentenced to 5 years for trying to vote in the 2016 election. Her crime? She was a former felon and she cast a provisional ballot without reading the fine print.

I'll talk about the many problems with this on the show today. Listen now!

After 65 years North and South Korea have agreed to end the war between their two countries.

But that's not what I find most amazing.

To me, the big story is just how masterfully Kim Jong Un has played this political chess game. I don't know anyone else in my lifetime who has done it better.

***Ron Paul released a new article lamenting Nikki Hailey's protest of President Maduro outside the UN.

I'll give you my comments on the exchange and talk a little about the basics of property rights and self-ownership.

Talk tomorrow,
